Grandpa's family has money to talk about.

What are we most afraid of when we are old? I think there is no doubt that these are the four words: No Country for Old Men, which is also the reason why we have the saying "raise children to guard against old age".

When a person is young, he leads a chic life. If he is old and has no support, it can never be said that his life is smooth sailing. So many people want to live a disease-free and disaster-free life, and they can die when they are old.

I have heard such a saying before: have more children, and you will be guaranteed when you get old.

At first, I was convinced of this statement. I think of a man in my hometown who had six children with his wife in his life. When he was young, he often said, "I am never afraid when I am old." There are so many children. Even if everyone gives me 200 yuan a month, I can get 1200 a month. Two people in the countryside are enough! "

This sounds right, so it makes sense. He has six children and will never be helpless when he is old. However, things are so unpredictable. Although he has many children, he has really encountered difficulties in this matter since he was old.

The reason is that there are differences between his six children. Because the two children said that the family conditions were not good, the children went to school, someone was sick and so on, and they didn't want to take the money. The other four children felt unfair when they saw that two people didn't take it, and they didn't take it later.

I heard that the six children of the old man were not very harmonious at first, but later three children stopped talking because of this. Does this sound ridiculous?

But sometimes, the human heart is like this. Even if you are a parent, you can't guarantee that every child of yours is as filial as you say, even if you think you have done a lot for them.

The old man's situation also reminds me of an elder in my family. His situation is somewhat similar to his, but there are also some differences. Compared with him, this elder is more patriarchal.

The elder has three children, two sons and a daughter. The daughter is the youngest in the family. Because of the preference for boys, her daughter was naturally ignored by her family since she was a child. Later, when the children grow up, they should get married and get married.

This elder can be said to have worked hard for these two sons. Almost all the money he saved in his life was subsidized to these two sons, including after marriage. Although married separately, the two children still used him a lot of money.

In this way, the old man himself has no savings. When he is healthy, he is fine. His life is still the same. His son and daughter visit him occasionally. It seems that he is still very happy in his later years.

Until one time, it took a lot of money for the elder to get sick, and his three children were quarrelling as a bee. The daughter said that she didn't spend her father's money, so the money shouldn't be shared with her brothers. The two sons disagreed, saying that they were both children, and she could not stay out just because she was a daughter.

Not only that, but also there are differences between his two sons. The eldest son said that the younger son spent more money than his father, and the younger son said that his brother spent more. It is said that his father is partial to each other and wants them to spend more money.

The elder wiped his tears in the ward at that time, saying that he was too old to be cured and would go home when he died. If you die, you'll just drag it over and bury it. I don't think I have any savings now, so it's over.

Compared with this elder, my grandfather is completely different.

Grandpa is a stingy man, so everyone in the family says he is.

He is very reluctant to spend money, and he is reluctant to give it to anyone. Although he has a sum of money himself, his children don't know how much money he has. He also has a monthly retirement salary when he is old.

Grandpa is also six children, four daughters and two sons, and my mother is the third. Everyone in the family says that it is as difficult for others to take money from my grandfather's pocket as it is to ascend to heaven. Not only can my daughter take it away, but my son can't take it away.

I remember going to grandpa's house when I was a child, and grandma secretly gave our children pocket money, saying that grandpa could not know.

Grandpa likes Chinese New Year best, because his children and some working grandchildren will give him lucky money. From time to time, grandpa will be too happy to open his mouth. Several aunts at home secretly said that Grandpa was an old money addict and an "iron cock".

Not only that, he usually likes to pick up some bottles and sell them at home. He said that every little makes a mickle, and he can sell some money a year. My uncle often says that he is old, and he doesn't know why he is saving money so hard.

Until one time, when my grandfather got sick and finally left the hospital, all the medical expenses were paid by himself. He said he was rich and didn't need children to pay for it. That was the most generous time for my stingy grandpa, but after he was discharged from the hospital, he was still stingy.

Grandpa once said, "You won't understand until you are old. No matter how many children you have, you might as well save some money yourself. " I think this should be what he learned from the examples around him. He said he was really at ease when he had money in his pocket.

Grandpa's mantra is this: "As long as you don't get seriously ill, don't worry, I have enough money to live to 100."

In fact, I feel that grandpa's children are still very filial. When my grandfather was ill, the money was originally shared by the children and had been taken away. Finally, my grandfather paid all the money back.

Grandpa is in good health today. He lives in the countryside with his grandmother and occasionally comes to the city. Generally, all the fruits and vegetables in the field are ripe. He gives them to the children and often comes in the morning. After lunch, they must go by bus. No one can stay. He and his grandmother once lived in this city for some time. Both of them said they were not used to it. When they came to this city, it hurt here and there, and then they went back.

Everyone has been young, and everyone will get old. What kind of life do you want to live when you are old?
